March "Must Haves"

Spring is just around the corner, I can feel it. I'm so incredibly antsy for bright colors, blooming flowers, and warmer weather. Aren't we all? One look at this must have list, and it's obvious how desperate I am for Spring to get here. Happy Monday loves.

This month's "Must Haves" are all items on my wishlist. But, this month I decided to mix it up a tad, and focus on items from small business owners (mainly). There are so many shops and boutiques with such cute items, and they deserve to be recognized and to thrive & succeed. Linking up with The Style Record.

Spring bracelets. (one | two) I recently placed an order through IN PINK for some gorgeous jewelry pieces, that will be perfect for Spring. I could get lost on their sight looking at everything I love and wishing they'd show up at my front door as well.

A New Mug. I'm in need of a need mug recently, and by need I mean want. Luckily for me I'm part of a mug swap, and am so excited to receive my new mug & to send my person theres. And what better way to than to satisfy my want, but supporting small business owners?

Midi Rings. I love this cute little trend. I was timid to buy some for quite some time, but I caved and recently bought some. But I am still LOVING the ones above. A girl can never have too many rings, right? #nosuchthing {Chevron | YoursNMineDesign}

The Modern Tulip Boutique. Not only do I know this girl personally, but she has a great taste in clothes. As in I want everything in her cute little boutique, but for now I'm going to settle by leaving y'all with my two current favorites: Precious in Pink & All Shook Up {what is your favorite thing from her shop?}

A Camera Strap Cover. I have been wanting a cover for my strap since I got my camera. Etsy has soo many shops that offer such cute (and monogrammed) strap covers, it's hard to make up my mind. I'm leaning towards the "Monogrammed Camera Strap Cover" {pictured on top}. But I also like the Leopard Camera strap & the Blue and Red Chevron cover. Which one do you think I should get?

Last but not least. A Monogrammed Bracelet. I love anything monogrammed, and the price is very easy on the eyes, compared to most monogrammed jewelry that I've found.

Have you found yourself wanting any of these items, too? Which of these is your favorite "must have"? Do you own a small business/etsy shop? Which camera strap cover did you like best? Where is your favorite places to get new mugs? What are your March "Must Haves"?

Fun finds, and what a cool idea to shop small businesses and boutiques. I love the look of midi rings, although I can barely stand to wear rings. And I'm digging the blue manicure on that midi ring picture. The "I love you blogs and coffee" is totally ME. I don't know if I'd be willing to hang it in my house and admit it openly, but it's true! LOL. -GinaOn the Daily Express
